THE CEO of Lifecard Investment Company, Nigeria and Dubai, Pastor Grace Ofure Ibhakormu, has told African youth that wisdom is capital, and that financial capital will chase entrepreneurs who apply wisdom correctly.
Speaking at the Loveworld Trade and Investment Forum (LTIF), Accra Edition at UPSA, she said one of the most important resources for every aspiring entrepreneur is wisdom.
“If you use your wisdom by coming out with a good business plan and proposal, investors would be chasing you with money to execute your business and catapult it to the apex height you might not have even envisaged,” she said.
“Use your wisdom and capital/money will follow,” she added.
Pastor Ibhakormu cautioned that while starting a business may not be the biggest challenge, sustaining it is more difficult.
She urged young entrepreneurs to plan properly before venturing into business and to build strategies for long-term profitability, growth and sustainability, rather than focusing only on immediate returns.
She said when African entrepreneurs increase local production, the continent will be better positioned to create employment, strengthen economies and achieve economic independence.
The LTIF Accra Edition, convened by Madam Stephanie Oforka, continues to expose over 2,000 participants to practical knowledge in trade, investment and sustainable enterprise development.
